bewrightback: (Versus Manfred)

Tash! I'm so very glad to have met you through this game. Like many others, I echo all of the kudos for taking a character like old Manfred, whom many would dismiss as unplayable, and just running with it. You breathe such life into him and help him feel so alive, like he's so much more than just the endboss of the first game. And you do it without even entering the vicinity of the trap that is woobifying villains. Manfred scoffs at any attempt to justify him! He just is. I love it... He's a jerk, and we're stuck with him, but at least he doesn't always have to act like a jerk.

I think I gushed more than intended there... but yes, I love how you try and do everything you can with a character whom others would see as limited, as a challenge that you pass with flying colors. And you're so nice and approachable OOCly as well. You're like the opposite of Von Karma, which is perfect for roleplay! I am glad for all of our threads and as said in that other comment, how you can bring about such awesome and unexpected moments.

You're a great person, and I'm glad to have you around again. I hope we have plenty of more great, great, horrifying times to come. <333

Aw, man, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad that you don't think I woobify him in any way, because while I'm insanely interested in what makes him tick, I don't think any of it actually excuses his behavior. I'm a firm believer that everyone has the option of being a decent human being every day, and Manfred just looked at his choices and was like, 'bitch, please, I'm flawless'. (Is it obvious that I struggle to take him seriously at times...)

I'm also really glad that you think I'm approachable! I try my best with that because 90% of my muselist is cantankerous and I don't want people to think that I'm actually like that irl. (I'm sunshine and rainbows. Really!)

Likewise ♥

Yes, yes, exactly. I do love all of your meta about Manfred and all your thoughts I've seen about him and his motivations have been very fascinating, without falling into those pitfalls. (Wait we're supposed to take him seriously???)

Don't worry, you come across very sunshine and rainbowy indeed!
